Gloucestershire is set to be hit by heaby rain and very cold temperatures over the weekend as the remnants of another tropical storm reaches British shores.

Storm Rina is currently moving just past the British Isles to the west, and it is expected to bring torrential rain and blustery showers to the are on Saturday afternoon before the mercury plummets on Sunday.

Late Sunday morning and afternoon we should escape the worst of the rain and cold, so Remembrance Day services shouldn't be affected.

Rina has lost much of its potency during the journey across the cold waters of the Atlantic.

Forecaster Hannah Findley, of The Weather Channel , told the Bristol Post said: “Remnants of tropical storm Rina will be weakened to a normal extra-tropical low.

“Through the afternoon, a front associated with this area of low pressure will move from the west into Ireland and Britain, with moderate rainfall.”

Cloud and rain will continue to clear south during Saturday, but unsettled conditions could linger in Bristol all day.

Temperatures on Saturday will range from 8C to 10C but rain all afternoon and into the evening will make it unpleasant.

On Sunday it will be drier, but there will be highs of just 8C and lows of a chilly 2C with wintry showers expected and frost forming overnight into Monday.
